hello, new here.

i dont have much of a garden to speak of as I levelled front and back last year. planning a tropical front garden for this year. my dad has a great tropical garden so i will be stealing plants from him left right and centre.

got a few banana plants and a couple of palms other than that its a bare border as per pic

first attempt at a border was a mess last year as i didnt know what i was doing at all, hopefully will improve this year...
